Deleted User Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 o yeh thats a point thanks to the guy next to jon with the yellow sprint for the lending of hammer one, and thanks to the guy in the race TR to lending me hammer 2 ;D;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackerjack Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 The guy in the yellow Sprint is Robin Eames Jony and he is made of helpoleum, which of course is very rare..................he once changed my inlet gasket so fast I never had time to say Rumplestiltskin! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackerjack Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 One curious thing occured today.Our Sprint is fitted with a LSD axle which normally does not work, I know this because when I have the car jacked up I can spin the rear wheel when the other is on the ground, but today it was working...................has the axle run out of oil!

Tim Bancroft Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I hope it will be either Oulton Park or Thruxton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitty71 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 ooh, my vote would be for Oulton definately! ;D Though Donington sounds ok too. TRR have done a poor job of advertising mallory this last time. If they pulled their finger out I imagine the response would of been a lot better. I hope the event continues at whichever circuit it's a cracker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 If MG on Track can afford the Silverstone GP course, and let CT wet their beaks, then surely TRR can condescend to cooperate, instead of going it alone?John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'm not sure what the cost of Silverstone GP circuit cost, but I imagine the total number of people taking part on the day did not cover the cost.Between 01/04/07 and 30/09/07 to charge for a days use of the GP circuit is £25K!Instead of the TR Reg. going out and attempting to get other Triumph clubs to join in with their TDs, maybe the other Clubs should be a bit more proactive and ask the Reg. if they can join in? I hope that CT will.Should not the Std Tri forum get the behind the TD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackerjack Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Just to throw in my two pennyworth.One huge problem the Triumph fraternity has to deal with is the many clubs which cater for the marque.If they would all just join in together it would probably make events very popular.I have some footage if anyone is interested.I had a bloody good scrap with the V6 Alfa 155 and learnt to stay in top and go into gerrards with the car sliding and just boot it round ;D the Alfa is leaning right over.On film is Tim, Jony, John a white Vittese plus the TR'sI would like it to be Goodwood.

Mad Mart Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I would like to do a TD at Oulton and Donny, Thruxton would be better travelling wise for me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Toledos Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 What !... you mean I'm not going to get to 'do' Mallory, next year ? I'm already peeved that I couldn't get to it, this year, and now it looks like I'm not going to get to do it at all :( I think Mallory is a great little circuit; but, I've only ever seen it from the spectator side.I'd like to do Thruxton (because it's close, and fast !); Oulton Park (because that's where I took my wife on our second date); Donington (because I've only done it as part of a parade lap in my 2000); hell, let's face it; I'd like to do all the tracks given the chance (and the money ::)).Let's see the footage then, Jon...

2Toledos Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I'm already upset - you might as well add a little salt to the wounds :PJust curious; but what was an Alfa 155 doing there ? I thought it was a TRR track day ??) A bit like the Porsche & Ferrari at Silverstone, I guess :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
